Firefox Update Not Needed?

Submitted by lostamiga on June 20, 2025 - 8:31am

Sorry, but I couldn't think of a better title.

I'm currently running Firefox Portable v139.0.1. I realize 139.0.4 has been available from the platform for a few days now, but my platform doesn't "see" that my version is out of date. All other apps update just as expected.

I can probably wait unitl the next version comes out, and hope that the platform sees that my version is needing updating, but I fear it may be "stuck" for some other reason.

I´m using Firefox Portable 138.0.1 Updated from PortableApp on May 05
O.S. Widows 10 Home S.L. Spanish

I want to choose when to install updates from PortableApp, but my Firefox updates automatically, and cannot change that in Tools.
When I try it shows "Firefox is being updated by another instance" . I have not idea of which "instance" is updating my Firefox.

When I try to select: "Check for updates but let you choose to install them" shows:

how do you change toolbar background color? i cant get good contrast. thx
i try in themes but dont find any option and changing theme doesnt bring wished color.
nor of the setting or themes get met to black background, i need to find other way.
i afraid i have to find a way in about config, as not having consistent color for all background.
i kinda try to get black for all backgrounds.
how do i get it?
thx
EDIT
this could possibly do...
but they forgot to put the name of the html or css file to change it in.

regular FF displayed in ABOUT of "portable" FF

I just tried opening a link from TB portable, but it said FF was already running and I need to close it to open a FF portable. I did, checked the shortcut I use that points to portable FF location and the link opened, but in the opened browser About FF said it was FF, not portable like it used to say. Does it mean I'm actually running regular FF? It forced 2 updates on me so I don't know what happened - now it's v.115.
Thank you for a quick reply.

strange action with Mozilla Firefox® ESR, Portable Edition
Version 128.8.0 for Windows 7 x64, English

I found my 115.15.0 esr (64-bit) was saying message about updating due to need to verify extensions....

so I downloaded the Version 128.8.0 as above, and started that..
nothing seemed to happen, but now my 115.15.0 esr (64-bit)
is now having no problem with 'verifying extensions'...
